No more twists in this final chapter

What next in this crazy election season? We have witnessed the unpredictable election of a man many considered unelectable to the office of President of the United States. We have witnessed a pointless recount, but also allegations of Russian hacking. Today, the final chapter in this election will be written. The 538 members of the Electoral College will cast their ballots today to make the outcome of this election official. But some suggest the story isn’t over. At least one Republican elector vows not to vote for Trump, the candidate to whom he is pledged. Many of these electors, never before in the spotlight, have been called out by name and inundated with phone calls and emails urging them not to vote for Donald Trump. It would take 36 members of the Electoral College switching away from Trump for this effort to work. It won’t work, and it would be futile to even try. Even if the electors prevented Trump from assuming the office of the Presisdency, that would simply leave it up to Congress to decide. There is no doubt what the Republican controlled Congress would do. Despite all the twists and turns of this presidential election, it seems this roller coaster ride is finally over.
